Following In Your Tracks (Song To Woody) Demo on 5 String Cigar Box Guitar

A rough demo of a new song. I wrote it after reading Bound For Glory by Woody Guthrie.
I loved the book. It had less about his music than I was expecting, but the stunningly great writing more than made up for it. The parts about his childhood were especially good...
I'm playing a home made guitar. I have a video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68zj3qksc18&t=8s

thanks a lot for your very generous comment Ernest. I'm proud to be mentioned in the same sentence as Sandy Denny and Joni Mitchell!

Great song; beautiful unpretentious playing and voice, which for me somehow captures Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention and Joni Mitchell. Love it! Love it! More! More! And from a grandmother guitar builder yet! This is what is great about cigar box NATION!

Thanks Dave, yes it's a flatpup. I made a cover from a cream plastic scratch plate to protect it...

Really nice sound...great picking too. Always nice to watch folks play the CBG without the slide. Enjoyed this!
